              ^^^^^
note: This part is the version number of the virtualbox kernel modules.

You are trying to use the original virtualbox-ose kernel modules of
Lenny (version 1.6.6) with the newer virtualbox-ose from backports.org
(version 3.0.6). You either have to downgrade the virtualbox-ose package
or build newer modules with module-assistant and virtualbox-ose-source
from backports.org.
